Since it's been all about the party, I've neglected to update on Nora herself...
As of April 5th, she weighs 22 pounds and is 29 1/2 inches tall. She was just above average in her weight, height, and milestones. I think she is a little behind in communication, but she is learning quickly these days. Just in the last week she's learned to blow kisses, "sing" when I sing to her, and become my little copy cat. If I make a noise she tries to make it too.
For her birthday, she got that fancy slide/swing set. Well, 2 days later we went to Moes and she mastered climbing up the slide (a 2-3 times longer one) and sliding down on her own. She's a climber!

| Going up... |
 |
| Almost there... |
 |
| Made it! |
 |
| Going down... |
 |
| Weee! |
These are just to show how big Nora's getting! I can't believe it!
 |
| Her legs are so long now! |
 |
| Her favorite climbing spot... |
The first few days of being ONE included a few new things...
 |
| Like whole french fries and chicken nuggets... |
 |
| And scrambled eggs (which she LOVES)... |
 |
| Oh and ya know, just a little hail storm after her birthday party. This little storm has indented our roof, torn shingles, hammered my car into a golf ball wanna-be, and knocked off parts of our siding. Not to mention everyone else's. This picture was my mom's front yard. The hail there got to just a little bigger than golf balls. |
And finally, her first KID'S MEAL at a restaurant! Nothing like a scrambled egg & biscuits from Cracker Barrel.
PS-Since it's taken me weeks to finally add the pictures and get this post published, I'll add a few more things.
She can :
- run from me
- play peek-a-boo (well if covering her cheeks counts)
- eat a banana by herself, taking bites (She loves this)
- climb onto the couch and our bed by herself (the first time I found a pillow moved up to the couch with an imprint from her foot...clever climber)
- bite HARD (don't put your fingers in her mouth)
- text and call anyone in my phone (sorry if it happens to you)
- enjoy kiwis & egg salad (just not plain hard boiled eggs)
- drink only cows milk, juice, & water (no formula)
- use only sippy cups or cups with straws (no bottles)
- sleep without a pacifier (hooray & it wasn't near as bad as I thought it'd be)
Yay for growing into a big girl!!
